Why is it that you don't have to remind yourself to brush your teeth everyday? It's a learned habit and exercise can become one too. In order for it to become second nature, you must find the right motivation.
Set yourself some goals and reward yourself.
Pot yourself weekly fitness goals and stick them on the fridge, in the bathroom and on your mirrors.
Treat yourself to a manicure or pedicure, a special dinner or a favourite film.
Make preparation effortless
If you are a member of a gym, pack your bag the night before you go and leave it in your car boot or by the front door.
Do you have a dog?
What better motivation that that of owning a dog, they need exercise at least once a day depending on the breed and the size. Before you know it you will be walking off the pounds in weight.
Measure the distance you walk with one of our pedometers and when your fitness improves, think about using some of our hand held weights to improve your overall tone.
Form yourself a group
Exercise can be quite a lonely challenge, so think about sharing the experience with a friend. You will be surprised at how many of your friends would like to shape up but like you need some support and company.
If the cost of joining a gym is an issue, buy one of our step videos and work out with your friend. Take turns as to who holds the session and make it varied and fun. You will soon get into the habit and begin to look forward to your weekly workouts!
Skipping is a great means of fitness and you can measure how many calories your burn with our calorie jump skipping ropes.
Exchange fitness emails to motivate and encourage each other and within no time you will begin to see some great changes in your body.
Go on, you can do it!
